About Me

Hello! I am a 3rd year PhD Student in Computational Mechanics at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My research interests are at the intersection of computational algorithm development and experiment. Recent results include models of thin-film evaporation in porous wicks, which enabled a 42% efficiency improvement in Loop Heat Pipes, predictive models for fracture propagation in ductile functionally graded alloys, and nonlinear reduced order models development with strong mathematical guarantees.

I received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 2024, and my M.S. in Computational Mechanics from Carnegie Mellon University in 2025. While at Caltech, I worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory studying two-phase thermodynamics, experimental and computational fracture mechanics, and metallurgy. I additionally have collaborated with Los Alamos National Laboratory on computational fracture mechanics problems, and the Army Research Laboratory on reduced order modeling.
